Art Festivals, Cultural Festivals, Bike Week, Tattoos, Ribs, Community and more.
Welcome back, festival fans.
We’re jumping right into another weekends of festivals after an early Memorial Day weekend. The concentration of this weekend’s events are in the areas of Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo.
Well, festival fans, I just got back from Italy last weekend and am already refocusing my cravings of Carbonara Pasta and Gelato to Funnel Cakes and Tornado Potatoes.
While I don’t know if I would be able to make it to any festivals this weekend, I would love to get to such festivals as CincItalia in Cincinnati, the PorchFests in Bowling Green and Bexley, the Youngstown Croatian Festival, the Taste of Lebanon Food Festival in Cincinnati and the Folk and Country Fest in Fairport Harbor.
I have had the chance to visit three of this weekend’s festivals many years ago, including…
…the Dennison Railroad Festival (Review)…
… the Genoa Homecoming (Review)…
…and the Wayne County Music and Ribfest (Review) in Wooster.
And there are some other popular fests worth noting including the…
- Newark Strawberry Festival
- Ohio Bike Week in Sandusky
- Art in the Village in Lyndhurst
- Cincinnati Tattoo Arts Festival
- Fore!Fest in Dublin
Church festivals are starting to pick up and there will be plenty more festivals next weekend – more than TWICE the amount of this weekend. So get ready!
****
Have a wonderful weekend, Ohio!
